Argo

Finally rented and saw Argo last night.  Probably the most intriguing thing I found about it was something it brought to light.  Back then, even the thought by nearly all Americans that we could be so deeply hated/despised by another people was completely foreign.  "What, people in other countries hate us?  What the heck are you talking about?  We're America -- the great friend and protector, out to rid the world of evil Communism and like-minded doers of evil."

Again, this movie did what I thought was an incredible job of bringing to light how at the time, we as a people just could not even fathom the thought of such a deep-rooted hatred of America, her values, and her ideals.  The Iran hostage crisis to me, spelled the end of the American World War II hangover.

And yes, I thought it was overall a great movie that deserved all of the accolades it has received.
